I don't see that ZIG approval or not is important. In a fault code you
have to qualify the fault value. If we say 'we want a diagnostic saying
that the Z session timed out so we lost your result set' and they say
'Huh??' then we can add a fault code SRW:LostZSession
Equally we could say bib1:6 rather than z39.50:6 to make the code
explicitly from the BIB1 diagnostics.
